Personally, this is an irritation of mine, that so so many 32bit only plugs are included in MC (ProStudio), albeit many good ones! My projects drown in a combination of 32/64...
But, there's no easy answer, apart from for my new project I'm going to source entirely 64bit (rather than lazily reaching for a Kjaerhus)

Yes there is, use MC 32 bit.

HI,

One reason we keep the 32-bit plugins in there is for backwards-compatibility. Maybe someday they could be an optional install for 64-bit Mixcraft.

Mixing 32- and 64-bit plugins should necessarily be a problem. The audio quality is the same. The only difference is that 64-bit plugins can access RAM outside of the first 4 GB.

A problem only arises if you have a bunch of 32-bit plugins and it starts being a drag on your CPUs because of all the bridging going on. Lots of people run both 32- and 64-bit plugins without issues.

So are all the bundled plugs and VSTi's 32 bit? It's important. I have at least 300 plugs so I'll never be short of them. They're all 64 bit.

I guess all the cool synths are 32 bit as well? I'd really like a list because I've committed to a full 64 bit system and software. Could we get a list of what's what?

HI,

Lots of the bundled plugins are 64-bit. Just look along the top of the effect to see which one it is:
